I believe that is the idea of not allowing anyone but the admins to create communities. It helps slow down the community creation so we don't get super niche communities that may not work out.
I am a 30-something dad who enjoys playing video games, writing, photography, and being outside!

I do like the OutdoorSports idea.
I know there has been some posts of wanting an Archery community, but at the same time the conversations I've seen have also wondered about the widespread appeal of it, and the plan (if a main community isn't created) is to keep posting in sports until (if) there is enough interest.
I feel like this is a healthy thing to do. We all want to enjoy the fediverse and being able to work with other admins where they may have been some problem users and create lasting working relationships towards a goal that would benefit everyone is a great next step for strengthening lemmy as a whole. Thanks for the update!
